(i)            (LOVE NEIGHBOUR)

12:28 And approaching one of the scribes, hearing them debating knowing that well he answered them, questioned him: What is the commandment first of all? 29 Answer the Jesus that first is: Hear Israel, Lord the God of us Lord one is. 30 and thou shalt love Lord the God of the one from with all the heart of thee and with all the soul of thee and with all the mind of thee and all the strength of thee. 31 The second is this: Thou shalt love the neighbour of thee as thyself. Greater than these other commandment there is not. 32 And said to him the scribe: Well teacher, on truth thou sayest that one there is and not there is another besides him. 33 and to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength and to love the one's neighbour as himself more is than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices. 34 And Jesus, seeing him that sensibly he answered said to him: Not far thou art from the kingdom of God. And no one no more dared him to question.

(i) (ONE BETRAYS)

 

14:44 Now had given the one betraying him a signal them saying: Whomever I may kiss he is; seize ye him and lead away securely. 45 And coming immed -iately approaching to him he says: Rabbi, and fervently kissed him: 46 and they laid on the hands him and seized him.

 

(ii)           (CROWD HEARD GLADLY)

12:35 And answering Jesus said teaching in the temple: How say the scribes that the Christ son of David is? 36 himself David said by the Spirit Holy said the Lord to the Lord of me: Sit at the right [hand] of me until I put the enemies of thee under the feet of thee. 37 himself David says him Lord, and whence of him is he son? And the much crowd heard him gladly. 38 And in the teaching of him he said: Beware from the scribes the ones wishing in robes to walk about and greetings in the marketplaces. 39 And chief seats in the synagogues and chief places in the dinners; 40 the ones devouring the houses of the widows and under pretence long praying, these will receive greater condemnation. 41 And sitting opposite the treasury he beheld how the crowd puts copper money into the treasury: and many rich men put much. 42 and coming one widow poor put lepta two, which is a quadrans. 43 And calling to him the disciples of him he said to them: Truly I tell you that widow this poor more all put the ones putting in to the treasury: 44 for all out of the abounding of them put, but this woman out of the want of her all things how many she had put, all the living of her.

(ii)           (ALL FLED)

 

14:47 But a certain of the ones standing by drawing the sword struck the slave of the high priests and cut off of him the ear. 48 And answering Jesus said to them: As against a robber came ye forth with swords and clubs to arrest me? 49 Daily I was with you in the temple teaching, and not ye did seize me; but that may be fulfilled the Scriptures. 50 And leaving him they (his followers) fled all.

Note Mark appears to break with a concentric circle pattern here in order to parallel and thereby link individual and corporate guilt
